CoinTalk has spoken! So let it be written, so let it be done. Thanks all for your input. I think the belt-buckle or other decorative...
Good Day A friend showed me an 1896-S Morgan Dollar that has unusual rim detailing. It does not look like other Morgans. Both obverse and...
Hi spock Yes, I agree the "survival" rate is a key element here. Also the survival rate for a given grade. Assuming YES, then for...
Good Day to all I completed a nice set of Peace Dollars in XF-AU. I really like this offbeat short set; it's not in the limelight for most...
Fred, I wrote a relatively long post about "wiping" coins awhile back. The electrons are still likely floating around this site somewhere. Got a...
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this. Much appreciated.
A coin can be wiped with no hairlines. I suspect a soft cloth could do it. Years ago no one made too much a deal about this. It's more recently...
Here's another thread I alluded to as part of an earlier post: I have listened, read, and wrung my hands over the current scourge of coin...
Happy New Year to All Seeking your opinions, fellow collectors! Background I'm an individual collector with a Peace Dollar set (almost...
I am considering bidding on a 1932-D Washington quarter. It's a key date in the series. The coin has a black splotch on the obverse. I asked...
Hello all! Recently I acquired an ANACS slabbed AU53 1934-S Peace dollar. A little bit of uneven toning on the reverse, but overall an...
I think the group is being pretty tough on this one. I've bought and sold a fair number of coins on eBay. Frankly, I believe the eBay has...
After I submitted the thread, it appears the photos are smaller than I thought. (Can't see them prior to the actual post). I think they enlarge...
Further to my thread yesterday, here are photos of a 1921 Peace dollar. Do you think the coin has been cleaned or is it natural. Yesterday, I...
That's the question I have.....I can tell if a coin's been cleaned if it's obvious: however on the Heritage site I can see magnified photos of...
Merry Christmas All!! What are some of the subtle hints that a grading service looks for on silver coin to make a determination that it has...
Thanks Fellas Do you think that this rim ding is large enough that even ANACS might not grade it? I noted it's only on the reverse of the...
Hello! I've attached photographs of a 1928 Peace dollar. It's one of the keys to the set. Do you believe the rim bump on this coin would...
I believe it's a strong F15 or VF20. Grading Walkers can be tricky. The reverse has enough detail for the VF. The feathers show, the breast...
I started collecting coins again after a long hiatus. One of the things I wanted to do was put together a short list of books that would help me...
